Harvesting basket
A single basket for harvesting, rinsing and carrying
Design by Ladislav Škoda
A basket packed with tomatoes. One slip and you’re left with a layer of tomato mush. Washed strawberries and nowhere to put them, water running all over the kitchen. Sounds familiar? That’s why we designed a basket that takes care of the whole process – harvesting, protecting and rinsing. No fuss, no mess.
Care that goes beyond the garden
Something that you’ve nurtured from a small seed for weeks shouldn’t finish its journey squashed in the bottom of a basket. Harvesting is just as much a part of growing as watering and weeding – we just tend to treat it with less care. The harvesting basket is here to make sure the final step gets the same care as all the ones before.
Harvesting fruit
Whether it’s apples, pears, plums or blueberries.
Everything you harvest stays pristine, not mashed into the bottom of the basket.
Harvesting vegetables
Tomatoes won’t get crushed, cucumbers stay clean, and delicate herbs belong on the top tray. At last, you can harvest exactly the way you intended from day one.
Cutting flowers
Flip the lid over and you get a second shallow layer – flowers rest separately from the rest of the harvest, with nothing pressing or crushing them. A splash of water in the lid keeps them fresh all the way home.
Picking mushroom
Whether you use the divider or turn the lid into a second layer, fragile mushroom caps stay protected from the rest of your harvest. Mushrooms that would normally end up broken at the bottom of a bag arrive home whole.
A basket that’s just as
useful outside the garden as in it
A basket built for delicate harvesting that can just as easily handle all the everyday nuisances around the house and garden.
Shopping
Thin plastic bags tear on the way home, while heavy ones cut into your hands. A sturdy basket with comfortable handles carries your shopping with ease – and lasts for years.
Household cleaning
Scattered toys, a pile of laundry in the hallway, and all the things that need carrying from room to room and back again. Instead of five trips, one is enough.
Working in the garden
Uprooted weeds and loose dirt quickly get mixed in with the tools lying next to them. The divider keeps everything apart – weeds on one side, scissors and trowel on the other.
Drying nuts
On a shallow tray, nuts tend to scatter and roll everywhere. With its ventilated bottom and sturdy sides, the basket keeps your nuts in place.
Details that do the thinking for you
A reversible lid that does five jobs at once
A cover, a second layer, a drip tray, a serving tray and a stacking connector – one lid, no compromises.
Customisable dividers
Apples to the left, pears to the right, and everything stays neatly separated. You can place the dividers exactly where you need them.
Water drains away on its own
No more scrubbing over the sink – rinse your harvest right in the basket. The perforations will even catch a single redcurrant berry, yet dirt rinses straight out.
Handles that don’t chafe
The handles lock neatly into each other, are gentle on your hands, and give you a secure two‑hand hold when the basket is full.
Just hook it straight onto the tree
No more balancing on a ladder. The shaped recess in the handles keeps the basket from slipping off a hook – leaving both hands free.
They fold away when you don’t need them
Empty baskets stack neatly with their lids, so they occupy only minimal storage space.
It stays clean no matter where you set it down

Urbalive, a functional solution born in Vysočina
The Urbalive range has one clear goal: to simplify your journey toward nature, a healthier lifestyle, and the sustainable use of natural resources. We develop products that push industry standards forward and genuinely improve the lives of people and the nature around us. We developed the harvesting basket in collaboration with designer Ladislav Škoda.
“As a designer, I don’t start with the shape. I start with what actually annoys people in the garden or the kitchen, like balancing a basket on a ladder or wondering where to put freshly washed fruit. That’s why the basket has one lid that handles five tasks instead of five separate accessories. It addresses what people genuinely need. It’s not just something nice to look at."
